food waste treatment Applications

We are about to bring our patented waste water treatment technique for heavy industrial waste water disposal. Rotating Bed Biofilm Reactor (RBBR) requires less space than traditional solutions. Our treatment process handles temporary increases in load and is suitable for use in the food industry.

B & V Effluent Services has been providing waste water management services to the food production industry for a number of years. As a result of this wealth of experience B & V Effluent services have a high level of technical expertise when it comes to providing a service to this industry in particular.

The first UASB pilot plant was installed in the 1970’s at a beet sugar company in The Netherlands (CSM suiker). Thereafter, a large number of full scale plants were installed throughout The Netherlands at sugar refineries, potato starch processing plants, and other food industries, as well as paper recycling plants.

The brewing process generally generates unique, high-strength waste water as a by-product. The waste water typically has a high concentration of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) form the carbohydrates and protein used in brewing beer. Brewery waste water usually has a temperature of > 25 °C.

Direct reuse of wastewater in the product is not on the menu in the food and beverage industry, but the reuse of water for other purposes (e.g. washing) is now a priority. Most major F&B companies have made commitments to reduce their water consumption per unit of product, and reuse is an important part of the strategy for achieving this. Furthermore much of the growth of the industry is in emerging markets which typically have more limited, lower quality water resources than developed countries, creating water treatment challenges. In developed markets, emerging concerns about pharmaceutical by-products and other trace contaminants making their way into the product have lead to greater use of desalination technologies on the process water side. Value from waste propositions such as energy recovery, water reuse (not within the product) and materials recovery ensure that investment in water technology benefits the bottom line.

The food and beverage industry is suffering from severe economic pressure. Efficient and continuous production processes are therefore business critical. By choosing Kurita concepts for your cooling water, boiler water and waste water plants as well as your reverse osmosis systems and autoclaves – all of which are specially adapted to your needs – you opt for economic and ecological treatment, leading to more productivity and cost-efficiency.

Food and beverage producers are constantly looking for production optimization while achieving the highest levels of quality and compliance. Lenntech provides sustainable complete solutions for ingredient, water and waste water treatment in food and beverage industry considering a wide range of technologies and strategies.

The waste water from the transformation process in wineries has a high organic material content, as well as large pH variations that can be harmful to the environment. This water treatment must be carried out by using the appropriate processes.

Due to the diversity of products in the beverage industry, there is also a great variation in waste water composition (flow and load) from this type of industry. This requires special attention and tailor made solutions for the design of a waste water plant for this industry.

The food processing industry also has a broad range of applications for oil skimmer and waste oil recovery technology. From wash water sumps to waste water treatment pits, the AMBAR rope skimmer is versatile enough to be used in all types of applications and outperforms tube oil skimmer products.

Food waste in general has a high energy density. This results in high yields when producing biogas through anaerobic treatment. Biogas is a very flexible energy product with proven capabilities in the power, transportation, and heat demanding sectors. In this sector, anaerobic digestion offers significant cost advantages over traditional disposal methods. By upgrading the biogas into natural gas using a DMT Environmental Technology system, a solid business case with an interesting return on investment is assured.

We treat air streams to remove odors allowing industrial processes to be operated in compliance with local regulations and without causing a nuisance to neighbors due to odors and smells.
Our technologies have been applied to a range of processes including:
Waste treatment (municipal and industrial)
Manufacture of flavors
Food processing
Waste water treatment (Municipal and industrial)
Chemical manufacture

PBS Velká Bíteš develops and manufactures machines for the separation of solid and suspended particles from liquids. The so-called "Decanter Centrifuges" can be used for a wide range of applications: from separation of municipal and industrial sludge in waste water treatment plants, through food and chemical industries up to agriculture. In the area of separation, we offer not only the decanter centrifuges themselves, but also the related services, including servicing of third-party equipment.

Schwing Bioset, Inc.`s technical expertise and innovative approach to the design of Fluidized Bed dryers, coolers, and conditioners has resulted in Schwing Bioset fast becoming a preferred partner of companies processing municipal solids and companies processing coal. The versatility of Schwing Bioset`s piston pumps allow them to be used in many industries to pump a wide range of materials such as oil sludges, dredging spoils, food wastes, and coal slurries. In fact, Schwing Bioset pumps are so versatile they can pump just about anything that can be fed into them.

Every city and town in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and the Pacific Rim is a target rich environment and susceptible to odor control concerns. Look no further then the nearest apartment complex, hospital, hotel, fast food outlet or retirement home. Shopping malls, grocery stores and entertainment complexes are also likely clients and application areas. Stop to consider the number of food processors, manufacturing/industrial operations, waste haulers, landfill or wastewater treatment sites in your area where persistent and nuisance odors are a constant public concern.

General Carbon carries a complete line of activated carbon made from coal, coconut shell and wood for most liquid phase applications. These include acid washed activated carbon for drinking water and food grade applications as well as products suitable for waste water remediation, decolorization applications, chemical and pharmaceutical purification. Additionally, our specialty medias are best for the treatment of non-emulsified oils and heavy metals. Our stock of activated carbon for liquid phase applications are all NSF certified, meaning that they are approved for treatment of food grade applications.
